Everyone who still holds on to free speech...

He blabbed loud enough to make it heard. But even then, I was not even targeting Jimmy James in particular until he came to bring it over to Microsuck.

so you admit that you're hounding me because I want to get rid of politics.

keep making our case for us.

this gets easier and easier.

also, I like your logic...

"RKmaster made one-image threads, and we binned them. your thread has one image, so it should be binned."

so, it's allright to bin your one-image thread?

you're being childish, man. just stop. let us do what we want to do. let things play out the way the members want them to. you don't run this place, so stop acting like it.

it isn't making anybody's life better... especially not your own.

[Laukev7]

What are you talking about? I didn't bin your picture threads because of the political dispute (it certainly didn't help, but just your past record at pulling stunts like that would have been quite enough). I meant that my disappointment was not towards you in particular until you started on Microsuck, and I duly responded that I won't let the same thing happen on Microsuck.

As for the image I posted on Microsuck, you're completely missing the point. I wasn't saying that you shouldn't bin my thread, I was saying that you should stop accusing me of censorship if you were going to do the same.

I wasn't accusing you of censorship, though... no, no, we've been through that before.

I was ticked off that you would do it then... and it looked to be in retalliation to my anti-political ruminations.

[Laukev7]

Perhaps I was wrong, then, but I thought your picture thread was to spite me. Not that I have anything against CFK, but you looked like you were spamming the boards, like you often did before in similar situations (but that could also have been my perception).

[hm_murdock]

I assure you I wasn't... although, I knew that was your reasoning. it also looked at the time like you were spamming so as to cover up some of my threads

This whole argument is both stupid and pointless.  I'm not sure what to make of the whole political situation here, but I can see that nobody is interested in taking it seriously.  Similarly, the only people that want to continue allowing politics to be discussed on this board are quick to make rhetorical references to "free speech" while at the same time using that same opinion to quash those of others.  THIS IS WRONG.  It also, by the nature of its usage, effectively neutralizes the entire argument in the first place.  You can discuss politics, but you can't discuss the possibility of not allowing such devisive issues to be discussed ON A COMPUTER FORUM.  This whole debate is childish and, whatever the outcome, I am disappointed that there was even an argument on this front in the first place.

EDIT: Before anyone gets it through their head otherwise, this board is NOT a democracy.  We do not vote in our admin nor our moderators, nor do we have any say in their ultimate decisions.  It has no constitution, though we attempt to abide by basic human and civil rights.  It is, by definition, a military dictatorship more than anything.  What the members CAN do to preserve this society is do their best to stay in the good graces of the people with whom they must work.  This kind of devisive argument is non-productive at best.

Actually, I'm not sure why anyone thinks this is even open to debate. I'm not going to censor political threads in the lounge no matter what anyone says or thinks, pure and simple.

Case closed.

[Doogee]

don't you understand tht most problems in this place would e solved by abolishing politics from discussion here?

Go to a politics forum if you want to talk politics, this is not the fucking place.

1 vote to ban politics from discussion here.

[Laukev7]

No. Deal with it.

Some of RKmaster's posts got binned because they contained only one picture. So I treated your posts according to tradition. On the other hand, I posted a picture similar to yours on Erudition, and I got called a troll. Yet that was the only one out of about five posts that could be called 'trolling'. So your accusations of me having double standards is quite ironic.

Double standards would be deleting a post because it contained only an image and then making a post with just an image.

Jimmy had a big hand in it.

You can be replaced, don't think you're all powerful.


My opinion, most members seem to want politics to stay, so they should stay unless the webmaster, or the majority of the members that frequent here, says otherwise.
